Here is a thumbnail I did of the arched public space in Gaudi’s Park Guell. The design of it felt like sunflowers reaching up to the sky…gorgeous. See the full drawing and a few more from the day on my blog. Posted by Veronica.
View post →I drew the cpdsa skaters again in Central Park. Â This time I drew them with two hands. Â I’m thinking that that is a more logical and artistic approach to the roller skaters movements and actions. Â It felt more comfortable to me than drawing them with one hand; I could accomplish more with two handed drawing […]

View post →I recently spent an afternoon at Turtle Back Zoo with my family. This NJ zoo has been there since 1963 and my parents actually used to take me there when I was a child. It was quite a trip for me to be taking my son there now! Here is a drawing I made of […]

View post →This is a portrait of a WAVE officer in front of her desk. Wonder Woman fans know that Diana Prince was a sexily bespectacled and clipboard-carrying WAVE officer who helped the U.S. fight the Nazis during WWII, and we all know that I have a thing for all things Wonder Woman…
View post →Had some free time over the recent holiday weekend and so I decided to do some drawings of something I don’t often draw – cars. Maybe this is stereotypical, but it seems to me that men understand cars better than women do – and of course the thought of that makes me want to understand […]
View post →SUPERMAN? Yes, Superman…he came flying around the cpdsa skate circle like a bat outta hell, faster than a speeding bullet… Â Draw, I said to myself, draw! Â I drew. Â Wow, that was cool! Â Superman just came around the circle laying on his side and balancing on one leg! Â Only Superman can do that I thought. Â I […]
View post →I can’t think of a better symbol of the American work force than the steel mills. All the images of the molten lava-like metal, the soot covered faces of the workers and the billowing smoke stacks are iconic. I feel they represent a little of something in every one of us who work each day […]

View post →Drawings that led to the eventual block print logo for the local farm. No farm, no food. Me like food.
View post →I used to dislike the “plumber’s nightmare” of boats and ships but recently have begun to embrace the complication by tracing the shapes not literally, but with a certain relaxed, noodly line that this drawing is a good example of. This boat caught my eye with its sinewy details and maritimey grandiosity.
View post →I had another fun evening recently drawing Neil and his fellow Aikido practitioners at the Long Island Aikiki. It’s fun to try to capture their moves on paper and, I think, a much less strenuous way for me to participate! Posted by Veronica.
View post →These two roller skaters are at the CPDSA circle every time I’ve been there. Â They dance alone or with other skaters, but when they dance with each other it is truly beautiful. Â They glide in and out of each other; blending and parting, parting and blending. Â Her knee will go up and out as he […]
